Testimonials From Parents

"I wanted to write and let you know how great of a staff you have teaching Emma; she has shown such improvement since working with the Ladder Learning System. Your teachers have such a great spirit and the teaching skills are above my expectations. They are great!! I know you always ask parents what they think or what can be worked on, but I want you to know that you really have a great team. The love the concern that they have for the children really shines through everyday, it really does. I mean it when I say that Emma has shown so much improvement with them in her life. I just want to commend those ladies; they really do a great job!! They have won my heart."

"My daughter loves Kiddie Junction. We made the switch from a major chain about two months ago and couldn't be happier. The personalized care she receives coupled with the smaller class sizes provide Amanda everything she needs for a happy day everyday. The Ladder Learning System curriculum while fun for Amanda has taught her so much in the first two months! She already counts to 10 in Spanish and can say hello and good-bye. Our refrigerator is full of all of her creative art projects. Its nice to be able to go to work everyday and know that Amanda is being well cared for and having such fun."

"We love Kiddie Junction. Our daughter will be three in July and she has learned so much; she enjoys going to school each day. Alexis loves to sing the songs she has learned, she even sings them in the car on the way home. Alexis is always bringing home her art projects and running to put them on the refrigerator. Additionally, her vocabulary has grown by leaps & bounds, it seems like she learns a new word each day (even Spanish). Kiddie Junction has taught our daughter so many wonderful things and I am sure they will continue to do so for many years to come."

"My son Elijah started at Kiddie Junction this past February and had never been in a preschool before. I started seeing the results the very next week. He was singing the ABC's, counting to 10 and knows different nursery rhymes. You guys are great!"
